Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book gives a detailed account of the efforts to address the widespread but largely unrecognized social and health problems of a university town. The author, a sociology professor, uses evidence from surveys and official reports, including data on housing conditions, public health, and dependency. The author begins by observing that the book's focus on the neglected needs of the town's working class population may be surprising, given the town's reputation for wealth and academic excellence. Official statistics on infant mortality show the working-class population to be effectively invisible and facing serious health risks. This grim portrait is further developed through chapters on housing and the local health system. After surveying the appalling living conditions of the town's largely immigrant population, the author documents high rates of infant mortality, tuberculosis, and childhood diseases like pneumonia. These problems are traced to local ordinances that leave the poor exposed to unsafe water, sewage, and insufficient garbage disposal, and to landlords who neglect basic maintenance. The author acknowledges there are some individuals who attempt to address these issues, but they are largely powerless against the entrenched disregard of local authorities. The book argues that the town's image as a haven for learning, culture, and community spirit is an illusion. The author's research reveals the wealthy residents and the university itself have been culpable in maintaining the status quo. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330236475_0
